Having cultivated the Yahoo Wing of the party all these years (back when it was still called the Southern Strategy), the Republican Establishmentarians are suddenly white-faced (well, whiter than usual) with fear at the prospect that the Snopes Family Huckabees, those snake-handling red-necked cracker croakers, are thinking about loading up the truck … gonna move to the DC.
Beltway that is.
K Street bribes.
Trophy wives.
This, of course, cannot stand, so the Republicans have unleashed the Purse Dogs of Vituperation:
Hey, Huck, welcome to the show. Stop whining and face the music. You’re not just a warm up act anymore. People want to know what you think. Everyone wants a real opinion from you. Some substance. It’s not like being a preacher, or a local politician. These people, they have cameras and voice recorders. They listen to the words.They assume a correlation with your likely actions in reality. They aren’t gonna give you a break because, you know, it came out a little wrong. Because, Huck, what the President of the United States says — about weirdo religions that believe odd things, (how about those Wahabis? Hindus? Kinda makes the Mormons look like, well, Christians.) or taxes, or college tuition breaks for the children of illegal immigrants — those comments can start wars, move markets, or encourage more illegals to move here. This is serious. You’re not in Little Rock anymore. It’s hard Huck, when your decisions matter.
Like back home, you were just trying to be nice to that castrated guy who had raped a few women. He had served some time. Why couldn’t they forgive him? You could. You have a good heart. Lots of Christian love. So you pardoned him. And what did he do then, Huck?
What if you make a call like that on Iran, Huck? Or Iraq? Or Osama? Or some guy from China who is very civil and polite at the State dinner, and has a little plan for dominating Asia? Everything that happens, Huck, all those reporters are going to want you to say something, everywhere you go, 24/7. And lots of people will act based on what you say. And not all of them have lots of love in their heart, Huck.
That bait shop on the lake — it’s looking good. You’ll be surrounded by nice neighbors, real Christians, and you can be the smartest guy in the room. You can go out running every morning. Remember Huck — Jesus wouldn’t be dumb enough to go into politics.You were right on that one. Maybe it’s not what he wants from you either.
If this suddenly reminds you of Randy Newman singing:
Last night I saw Lester Maddox on a TV show
With some smart-ass New York Jew
And the Jew laughed at Lester Maddox
And the audience laughed at Lester Maddox too
Well, welcome to the club.
Remember: Republicans like their southerners from Kennebunkport, their gays closeted, and their women the way they like their coffee. With fake boobs.

That’s how Tbogg likes his coffee too…
I like my coffee hot and wet. And I prefer my southern Republicans unimportant.
“What if you make a call like that on Iran, Huck? Or Iraq? Or Osama? Or some guy from China who is very civil and polite at the State dinner, and has a little plan for dominating Asia?”
Yeah Huck, whatcha gonna doooo, huh? because we have already endured a fumbledick who has fucked this nation like a Republican Congressman fucks Jeff Gannon.
So whatcha gonna do Huck? Invade a nation that your Daddy armed so you can depose a monster your Daddy put in power? Well, Huck, whatcha gawna doo.”
Best “how I like my coffe” line came from a Fundie I was pals with…
“I like my women the way I like my coffee, hot, wet and weak.”
Lester Maddox, according to wiki, later in life became a comedian. It’s something for Huckabee to consider, anyway.
It’ll be interesting to see how Huck pulls off the young-earth portion of the program.
It’s one thing to the GOP establishment that you’re an evolution denier.
But even Georgie Boy admits the earth is more than 6000 years old and that it is highly improbable that the Flintstones was an animated documentary.
Ol’ Huck has about the same chance at the presidency as anyone on this thread.
Just look at how the wingnut blogs have been attacking him.
He’ll have to sell his crazy somewhere else–they’re all full up there.
I like my coffee strong, black, and hot as the fires of hell.
For the record, the “New York Jew” Newman’s redneck was singing about was…Dick Cavett. Who’s about as Jewish as ham on Wonder bread with mayo.
“as Jewish as ham on Wonder bread with mayo.”
Hmm … I’m pretty sure that’s the reason my brilliant business idea, while living in a county with a Jewish population of like, 3 in every elventy-million, was to open “Mr. O’Cavender’s House of Oy.”
Once the Rabbi took away my second set of pots and pans, I knew it was doomed.
damn, tbogg, what’s with the boob thing these days? it’s like the ghost of hugh hewitt’s manhood is stalking you or something…
Peggy Noonan, the weirdo who masturbated to Ronald Reagan’s feet, calling Huckabee weird? Not that he’s not weird, of course, but mmkay.
I like my women like I like my coffee:
Ground up and stored in the freezer.
Now that I have that off my chest; another Southern Baptist, Pat Robertson finished second in the Iowa caucuses in 1988. Then his campaign imploded. It’s a sign of the shallowness of the Republican field that outfits like The Corner are so upset by him. The hilarious part is that the Republicans have suckered the fundies for years and then, after the votes were counted, the Republicans wiped their dicks off on the fundies’ drapes and went on with looting the country. Now that the putative frontrunner is someone who actually is what the Repubs have been saying they were they’re scared shitless.
For the record, the “New York Jew” Newman’s redneck was singing about was…Dick Cavett. Who’s about as Jewish as ham on Wonder bread with mayo.
Cap’n, it was (and may still be) a common belief among natives of the flyover states that *all* New York city residents are Jewish, and that includes Conan O’Brien. When I moved from the Bronx to Michigan State U in the early 1970s, so many people asked/assumed I was Jewish that I wore my Irish granny’s cross around my neck for a few days, as a test. And, yes, my fellow collegians from Bad Ax and Pierre (pronounced “PEER-ee”) *still* asked if it was okay for me to eat ham in the cafeteria, and whether my parents wanted me to find a nice Jewish pre-law or pre-med student to marry. This may have improved in the past 30 years, if only because so many New Yorkers have built summer homes on the Great Lakes, but I wouldn’t to make any guarantees.
Anybody ever notice how good the tread is on the left front tire of the Huckmobile (in the pitcher, where Huck’s 2nd cousins are driving it)?
Something tells me that got those tires in Burbank.
OK, I meant the right front tire…right, left, what’s the difference?
I prefer my coffee with real boobs, but not being a snob, fake boobs are also appreciated.
huffpost had the huckabee christmas card~it was scary.

now who saidvertical stripes are slimming??
It’ll be interesting to see how Huck pulls off the young-earth portion of the program.
i’ve been waiting for one of the political reporters to ask the huckster about one of these recent dinosaur finds.
but, of course, it’s apparently taboo to bring up his mouth-breathing inclinations. huck is such a nice, christian guy and all, ya know…
It’s starting to look like Willard by default. Rudy and McCain are dead meat on a stick. Freddy’s just dead. The entire right wing media is converging to trash the Huckster. BTW, the newly Democratic John Cole has been beside himself with joy. What is that saying about a Republican scorned?
Oh yeah, “a Republican scorned knows how a lifelong Democrat feels.”
Huck’s problem…obviously…. is that he does not possess a blimp.
I clicked that link and thought that it just HAD to be a photoshop, but apparently not. Teh Ron Paul Revolution. It’s just awesome beyond words. Maybe Huck could fire back with a Jeebus impersonator in camo, saddled up on a triceratops.
What a relief. All my life, I thought I was weird for liking boobs with cream and sugar.
I’m happy the blog is back to boobs.
Janet Huckabee sounds like Granny ‘n her shoot’n iron…
http://politicalticker.blogs.c…..-launcher/
Granny Huckabee!
Wait…she’s my age…never mind…
Keep talking about boobs and Tbogg will post a Hugh Hewitt photo.
Lovely. The long awaited neocon/christer crackup. Wonder what Michael Medved and the rest of the “morality” scolds are going to do now.
Huckabee, of course, is “unreliable” and “untested” on foreign policy.
Lol!
NRO et al have their work cut out for them.
Anyone want to lay bets on just how well the fundy base is going to appreciate the money base butchering the only candidate vetted by Jebus?
Hucksterism is all the rage…ahmmm…I mean it’s exploding all across America…ahmmm…I mean it’s slick as a pig in shit…ahmmm…I mean…ahmmm…Praise the Lord and Pass the Ammunition!
In the Navy, coffee with cream and sugar is “blonde and sweet.” Which makes the “I like my coffee as I like my women…” line make a little more sense. Now, I like my coffee “black and bitter”… don’t know what that says about me. Other than I’m diabetic.
Huckabubba was hitting the coffee shops with Chuck Norris and his magic toupee in tow this week.
Quite the dynamic duo those two.
Huckabee is clearly the man who the Lord had in mind to usher America into the apocalypse.

Lester Maddox, according to wiki, later in life became a comedian. It’s something for Huckabee to consider, anyway.
I thought Lester Maddox was ALWAYS a comedian…
Go Huck! Lead the Christo-Facists into the Hell of Oblivion, which is where they have belonged since, well, forever.
Will Huck embrace Pastafarianism? I am a member of the Pentacostal Al-Dente Pastafarians who believe that the only true noodly appendage is the one that is perfectly prepared. All others false and their followers must be shunned!
And here I thought the movie Bob Roberts was satire; I didn’t realize that Tim Robbins was a psychic with the ability to foresee the future. I can’t recall if shunning from the corporate wing was the final nail in the campaign though.

It’s nice to watch the Republicans eat their young; that usually only happens with the Democrats.
You didn’t mention the best part: When you’re being called unqualified by someone who’s worked for Dan Quayle and Rick Santorum, you must really be unqualified.
I wonder which of the nice young men in that card killed that poor stray dog.
